At the Constellation Brands - Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center (CMAC), Menzel brought a group of young children onstage to join in singing her hit song "Let It Go" from the Disney's "Frozen."

Menzel may be best known for voicing Elsa, the strong-willed ice queen in "Frozen," along with her stage roles as Maureen in "Rent" and Elphaba in the Broadway smash "Wicked."

Menzel passed her microphone around, letting each child sing a few lines. But when she handed it to a little blond boy named Ryan, he frowned.

"I don't like this song!" he shouted, to laughter from Menzel.

Without missing a beat, Menzel asked what song Ryan liked, to which he responded, "Trolls," referring to the catchy earworm "Can't Stop the Feeling!" by Justin Timberlake, featured in the movie "Trolls."

"He's cool...Why didn't you go to that concert?" Menzel gently asked, prompting more laughter from the crowd.

The singer then told her band to stop playing so the kid could sing a little Timberlake.

In a YouTube video posted by Adeline Rudolph, Ryan bravely burst into Timberlake's song with the rest of the children bobbing along.

Soon, the audience sang and clapped along with his version.

Called "the Streisand of her generation" by The Denver Post, Menzel has captivated audiences around the world with her charm, wit and unparalleled vocal prowess.

The July 15 show was no exception. Menzel invited Ryan to take a bow and he pretended to eat the top of her microphone.

"It's not a lollipop," the singer said, before leading the pack back into "Let It Go."

"I thought that was pretty good, even though it wasn't from 'Trolls,'" Menzel later told Ryan, who nodded.
